Chair-ish Our Tartans

TAKE A SEAT AND JOIN US AT OUR TABLE!

We are encouraging our entire community to pull up a chair and honor current students, your Tartan alumni or your entire family. This year, we are offering a very special opportunity to forever become a part of the St. Margaret's Commons by placing your family or student’s name on a Great Hall dining chair or Film Lab stadium seat.
 
This initiative is a collaborative effort by St. Margaret’s Episcopal School, the Board of Trustees, and the Parent Teacher Fellowship. The St. Margaret’s Commons, set to open in the fall of 2026, is a transformational 30,000-square-foot space that will become the heart of our campus. The full-service kitchen will house on-site chefs preparing nutritious meals from scratch, while the Great Hall will provide a space for dining, gathering and fellowship. The sports performance center, three times the size of our current facilities, will allow our Tartan athletes to thrive, supported by a new sports medicine space and studios for sports recovery, biomechanics, and cardio performance.
 
THE GREAT HALL dining area, as the central space for food service and community time, will become the true heart of the St. Margaret’s campus. It will be the place where students pull up a chair to share a meal, sit down and spend time with one another, and connect with the people around them in new and meaningful ways.
 
THE FILM LAB, a gathering space for large groups of students, will consist of 138 large theater style seats arranged in a stadium configuration for maximum viewing of the video screen. Students will use this space daily for class meetings, presentations, film projects, athletic film study for game preparation and breakdown, and much more.
